Frequently Asked Questions

What hunting seasons keep Blackhorse Taxidermy busiest in Parker County?
Whitetail deer season, which runs through the fall and into January in Texas, creates the biggest workload for most Parker County taxidermists. Wild turkey season in the spring and year-round hog hunting also bring in regular business.
How long does a typical deer mount take to complete in Texas?
Most taxidermists in Texas quote anywhere from eight to fourteen months for a standard whitetail shoulder mount. The timeline depends on how many animals were taken in during the season and where your mount falls in the production queue.
Is Possum Kingdom Lake bass worth mounting?
Possum Kingdom produces largemouth bass regularly, and a trophy-sized catch from that lake is absolutely worth preserving. Ask your taxidermist about reproduction mounts if you want to release the fish and still get a permanent display piece.
Can I get a mount of a feral hog from my property?
Yes, hog mounts are common in the Springtown and Parker County area where feral pigs are a regular part of hunting life. Shoulder mounts, full body mounts, and skull or tusk displays are all options worth discussing with the shop.
What's included in a habitat display, and is it worth the extra cost?
Habitat displays add natural materials like rocks, driftwood, grass, or artificial terrain to create a scene around your mount. They're popular for fish and bird mounts especially, and whether the cost is worth it depends on how prominently you plan to display the piece.
Do I need to gut or skin the deer before dropping it off?
For a shoulder mount, you typically want to leave the cape intact and not cut the hide below the shoulder. It's best to call ahead and ask exactly how the taxidermist wants the animal prepared, since different shops have different preferences.
